#477: Loyalty Insights from the GCC and MENA Regions

This is the final episode of Let’s Talk Loyalty and Loyalty TV for 2023. 

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we are delighted today to be joined by another loyalty podcaster, who told us that he was inspired by Let’s Talk Loyalty and wanted to create something similar, but in Arabic.

Loyalty Bl Arabi is a podcast about our industry in the GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council) and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) regions.

Our guest, Nizar Al Qabbani is a Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional, and an actuarial graduate, so naturally he’s fascinated with data – in particular, creating value from unused data, a situation he sees occurring too frequently.

Today Nizar shares his loyalty background and insights, and also some of the trends he is seeing in loyalty in the Arab world.

Listen to enjoy our conversation with Nizar Al Qabbani, co-founder and podcast host of Loyalty Bil Arabi.
